Highlights
Welcome to confluent's schema registry kafka serializer !
A new module has been create to allow (de)serializing kotlin classes and primitive, natively with avro4k, in kafka, using the confluent's schema registry! This enables the use of avro4k in spring and other frameworks using kafka serializers.
As this module is new, don't hesitate to propose enhancements and file an issue in case of a bug!
For more details on how to use it, here is the documentation 📝
Generic decoding
Avro4k now supports decoding to Any type, which means that you can still use avro4k even for unknown data type, or non-concrete classes! So you can also decode to List<Any> and all the possible generic types 🚀
New experimental / internal annotations
There are 2 new annotations indicating whether a class/method should be used cautiously:
@InternalAvro4kApiwhich indicates an internal API that shouldn't be used by you, which has been made public to expose internal apis to other modules. If you need them, please file an issue, and don't be surprised in case of breaking change!@ExperimentalAvro4kApiindicating an API that could evolve, but with notice. They are set as experimental when the API is quite new or there isn't enough feedback. Also, these could be removed in the future on case of a bug induced by them. In any case, they should follow the semantic versioning, so do not expect breaking that quickly!
Deprecations
- Okio support will be dropped in the next major release, replaced by kotlinx-io
- Generic data extensions will be dropped in the next major release, replaced by the new kafka serializer
